Hi,
I would like to study the effetc of temperature and humidity on the evolution of pheromone captures of a lepidopteran during one season. Indeed, I calculated correlation coefficient but I didn't find out significant result. So, I'm wondering whether there is another statitical method wich help to get best exploitation of such kind of data.
Good day Bilal,
SigmaPlot statistical software version 10, 11 or 12 etc...is one of the best-known data analysis packages. From a simple spreadsheet, it allows the creation of high-quality scientific graphs and the performance of complex data analyses.
I have used it for the same purpose you mentioned above on Lepidopteran population dynamic in relation to temperature and relative humidity.
You have the trial version available for 30 days trial for free as follows:

You may try a boxplot quantiles to visualize your significant data, especially extreme data.
You need to work on different correlation coefficients in order to compare your results and check the most appropriate according to your sample designing.
Do you consider microclimate conditions? Does your weather station be on the same field where you conduct your experiment? If it is taken from a far distance, it might not provide you with exactitude the necessary data related to the right area of your study, hence you are doing an inappropriate calculation, at least with a lack of accuracy.

You need to have your monitoring weather station linked by the internet to your laptop and receive up to date data for a whole season.
It might also be interesting to compare it with other seasons, giving the advantage of working with minimum and maximum data on AT and RH.
All the best.
